Fck it, just tuned in as the hour’s The Cure at the BBC is ending, would’ve recorded it so better than iPlayer.
Gig starts in 5 minutes!

At the BBC is usually TOTP and Whistle Test if you are lucky. There are several more programs on later which would be better I reckon.
Watching the ‘In Concert’ session now and the musicianship and vocals have stood the test of time remarkably well.
However, stylistically, just as for the rest of us, sadly time stands still for no man…

They weren't shit, they were great tunes from a band that have constantly evolved, if you want to listen to a band that stand still pay £300 to watch Oasis

Robert Smith became a pensioner this year, turning 65 in April...! f***ing unbelievable that he's still doing it, so well too!

No thanks, can't stand Oasis and I am well aware that the Cure evolved. They have written some excellent poppy tunes (In Between Days, Just Like Heaven, The Perfect Girl, Lovesong) but they also produced 2 unique, darkly beautiful albums in Faith and Pornography, so to play bibble like The Walk instead of The Drowning Man, All Cats are Grey, Faith, The Figurehead, One Hundred Years, Cold etc annoys me.

I listened to the Dolby Atmos bluray version of SOALW yesterday... absolutely amazing. First few listens of the "normal" verson of the album I thought it sounds a bit too heavily mixed, but playing the Atmos version opens it up and makes you feel part of it.
The CD Delux copy comes with the normal album, an instrumental version and the bluray Dolby Atmos version. I haven't listened to the instrumental version yet.
If you have the necessary equipment, it's well worth getting for the Atmos version.

I know I am old and was brought up listening to the Beatles, Floyd, Zep and the Who and I appreciate peoples music taste, but I saw the Cure on Glastonbury tv a few years back and I can honestly say that was one of the worst bands I have ever seen. So boring, but maybe an age thing as can’t stand Oasis either. Now back to listening to a bit of David Gilmour.

The set last night was absolutely magnificent. Smith and the band just get better and better and the new material is superb
Love the new album.
Reminds me of Disintegration.
One of my favourite albums.
Even though I only listen to it once every few years. To remember a lost loved one by.
Mad that it was their 8th studio album in 1989.
Hugely prolific during those years.
